cp2k on POWER4 running Linux

[Eric Shamay]

Thanks for the info - it's now compiling the serial version just fine.
All the tests I've run work out!

Now for the parallel version: I have mpich, BLACS and scalapack
installed. However, the install hangs when trying to link to the BLACS
libraries. In fact, when I do a clean install of BLACS and then try
the 'make tester' it comes up with undefined references of its own
routines! I'm curious if you or anyone has had the issue of the blacs
tester not installing and having trouble linking to the libraries
before.

A previous thread helped when running on the intel cluster and having
the MKL suite available:
http://groups.google.com/group/cp2k/browse_thread/thread/b3fcefa0b46756c5/83f42c575569cca5?lnk=gst&q=blacs#83f42c575569cca5

However now the undefined references are for files such as:
blacstest.o(.text+0xac): In function `main':
: undefined reference to `blacs_get'
blacstest.o(.text+0xd4): In function `main':
: undefined reference to `blacs_gridinit'
blacstest.o(.text+0xe0): In function `main':
: undefined reference to `blacs_gridexit'
blacstest.o(.text+0xa4c): In function `main':
: undefined reference to `blacs_exit'
blacstest.o(.text+0xc14): In function `runtests':
: undefined reference to `blacs_get'
blacstest.o(.text+0xdac): In function `runtests':
: undefined reference to `blacs_setup'
blacstest.o(.text+0x4228): In function `makegrids':
: undefined reference to `blacs_get'
blacstest.o(.text+0x426c): In function `makegrids':
: undefined reference to `blacs_gridinit'
blacstest.o(.text+0x42f4): In function `makegrids':
: undefined reference to `blacs_gridinfo'
blacstest.o(.text+0x4428): In function `makegrids':
: undefined reference to `blacs_abort'

...etc...

Below I've attached a copy of my Bmake.inc when installed BLACS:

correct

#  Allows the user to vary the topologies that the BLACS default
topologies
#  (TOP = ' ') correspond to.  If you wish to use a particular
topology
#  (as opposed to letting the BLACS make the choice), uncomment the
#  following macros, and replace the character in single quotes with
the
#  topology of your choice.

#  DEFCOMBTOP = -DDefCombTop="'1'"

#  If you know something about your system, you may make it easier for
the
#  BLACS to translate between C and fortran communicators.  If the
empty
#  macro defininition is left alone, this translation will cause the C
#  BLACS to globally block for MPI_COMM_WORLD on calls to
BLACS_GRIDINIT
#  and BLACS_GRIDMAP.  If you choose one of the options for
translating
#  the context, neither the C or fortran calls will globally block.
#  If you are using MPICH, or a derivitive system, you can replace
the
#  empty macro definition below with the following (note that if you
let
#  MPICH do the translation between C and fortran, you must also
indicate
#  here if your system has pointers that are longer than integers.  If
so,
#  define -DPOINTER_64_BITS=1.)  For help on setting TRANSCOMM, you
can
#  run BLACS/INSTALL/xtc_CsameF77 and BLACS/INSTALL/xtc_UseMpich as
#  explained in BLACS/INSTALL/README.
#
#  If you know that your MPI uses the same handles for fortran and C
#  communicators, you can replace the empty macro definition below

#  You may choose to have the BLACS internally call either the C or
Fortran77
#  interface to MPI by varying the following macro.  If TRANSCOMM is
left
#  empty, the C interface BLACS_GRIDMAP/BLACS_GRIDINIT will globally-
block if
#  you choose to use the fortran internals, and the fortran interface
will
#  block if you choose to use the C internals.  It is recommended that
the
#  user leave this macro definition blank, unless there is a strong
reason
#  to prefer one MPI interface over the other.

running 'make tester' from netlib's BLACS results in those undefined
references, so something is up with the linking stage. I've placed the
BLACS lib into my LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
